AFGHAN RUG HISTORY

The Unique Story of Afghan Rugs

Afghan rugs have been produced for centuries by nomadic tribes living in the harsh geography of Afghanistan. Turkmen, Baluch, Hazara, and Uzbek tribes each weave these unique rugs with their distinctive tribal motifs and color palettes.

The most distinctive feature of these rugs is the geometric motifs called "elephant foot" (gul). These rugs, woven predominantly in red, brown, and navy blue tones, are known for their structure resistant to the hardships of nomadic life.

The natural dyes used in Afghan rugs are obtained from organic sources such as walnut shells, pomegranate peels, and madder root. For this reason, special techniques must be used in the cleaning process.

CARE GUIDE

Afghan Rug Care Tips

Recommendations from our experts to extend the life of your valuable Afghan rug.

🧹

Regular Vacuuming

Vacuum 1-2 times a week at low power, in the direction of the pile. Strong vacuum can damage the fibers.

☀️

Sun Protection

Protect your rug from direct sunlight to prevent fading of natural dyes. Keep curtains half-closed.

💧

Stain Treatment

Immediately blot spilled liquids with a clean cloth. Never rub, as the stain may spread and dyes may be damaged.

🔄

Rotation

Rotate your rug 180° every 6 months. This ensures even wear and helps colors stay uniform.

🌡️

Humidity Control

Afghan rugs are woven in dry climates. Store at 40-60% humidity to prevent mold.

📅

Professional Cleaning

Have professional cleaning done 1-2 times a year. Avoid home washing as dyes may run.
